The XC70's are lovely for cross, you can mould the upper around your feet(nothing as good as bont, but it works) and the heel cup is fantastic. They just released the new XC7's with the same dynast tech, but I think we should see an "XC9" too based on what we've seen on rider's feet at the tour. The only complaint I have is that I need some studs for the steep run-ups i have to manage. I have pretty normal feet

An off topic remark here,.... I noticed that for instance, Giro and Mavic have different Q-factor.Mavic is narrower than Giro. Both offer no possibility to move cleats inward or out.Well worth considering for those in need!

Ok, maybe not "move" alot, but there is wiggle room to tilt cleats a bit at my road shoes.This is not possible in the mtb versions. atleast not on any of the 4 Mavics (mtb) i had at home or none of the Giros (mtb) i had.Mavic and Giro are different when it comes to Q-factor that is atleast 100% certain.With Mavic Q-factor is more narrow than Giro.

I guess some guys would have issues with this. Perhaps it's a question of adaption?I had a spacer at driveside of my crankset and none at the left side.This was a bit troublesome to me. It is same as widen or shorten Q-factor, that is kind of why i brought it up.

I have the Northwave CX specific shoes and have found them a good choice. A bit 'weighty' but with a sock like liner that helps keep your feet dry in muddy conditions. Good sole with plenty of grip. I like them and they are mega cheap at the moment here -
